Where does this level of dehumanization come from?

Look at the responses in this x thread.

"child predators aren't human"

"child predators aren't people"

"pedophiles aren't human"

"pedophiles aren't people"

This level of dehumanization is not normal or natural.

If you can find any of them saying something that may be legally problematic (preferably toward non-MAPs), and their real name can be deduced, let me know.

This makes me wanna kms tbh (not literally, in case admins are worried lol) But yeah, what the actual fuck? They can't even acknowledge that a non-violent, non-threatening person that has had completely consensual relationships with minors (or even those who haven't, most of the time) are worthy of human rights.

Edit: Now that I remember long ago I edited a stonetoss meme that ilustrated this pretty well:

Pretty much every society in human history has had some irrationally dehumanized boogie-man minority group which they use as a sacrificial outlet to unleash their sadistic impulses on. It's just the targets and the justifications which change from place to place. Jews, pedophiles, slaves, criminals, witches, immigrants, gypsies, heretics, commies, women who tempt men by showing their ankles in public, those awful evil people who live in the village next to ours and speak with a subtly different dialect, etc.

We're just in the unlucky position of being the current punching bag. It doesn't matter how "good" you are. At best if you behave and you say all the right things about being non-offending and knowing your desires are evil, you might get a shred of pity and quasi-tolerance from the more peaceful, more enlightened Antis who believe we're all just sick in the head and need to be committed to institutions or castrated or something. At worst you get self-righteous moral crusaders advocating for you to be brutally tortured to death.
